Convert Audio Effect To Midi Effect

[Syncretia]

I want to take the patch Envelope Generator which is part of the MaxForLive API and save it as a Midi Effect.

I have tried copying the patch and then pasting it in to a MaxForLive midi device but it all gets screwed up. Once I do this, I can't remove the background stuff from the presentation and Max can't figure out what it's supposed to display. For example, it shows all the lines which are supposed to be hidden. I tried removing all the of the stuff from presentation but the lines still display.

You can test this yourself. Just

-Open a clean midi effect device and go to the patching view.
-Now add another device by navigating to Max Audio Effect -> Tools -> [Max API CtrlEnvelope] Envelope Generator.
-Go to the patch view of the enveloper generator and copy the patch
-Go back to the clean midi effect and paste the patch in
-Save the patch and view it in Live.

Notice how everything gets screwed up. You can see the lines which should be hidden.

You should activate the option "open in presentation" in the patcher inspector of your new Midi-Device.
Please also keep in mind that if you copy and paste objects they will appear some pixels lower and more to the right (as set in you copy&paste-preferences).

That got it! You da man!

Now I can finish off my patch. I'll be uploading it to MaxForLive pretty soon and I'll post again when it's up.
